ABSTRACT

A hand jewelry such as a ring or a bracelet has been presented herein. The ring or the bracelet may be obtained by performing one or more molding processes. The jewelry may include at least inner and outer components that are formed together (i.e., single molded) into a single unit. The inner component may include an elevated portion that is a circular step or portion along an inner surface of the inner component. A width of the elevated portion is less than a width of the inner surface of the inner component. The elevated portion may include one or more grooves molded therein. The jewelry may also include one or more outer caps for covering at least a portion of the outer component of the jewelry from outside.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure generally relates to a jewelry having a combination of aesthetic and functional purposes, and more particularly to a hand jewelry (such as a ring or a bracelet) having an elevated portion in its interior.

BACKGROUND

Jewelry such as finger rings, pendants, bracelets, and necklaces have traditionally been made of soft metals such as gold, silver, and platinum. Generally, these soft metals are preferred for one or more jewelry items because these metals are malleable, castable, forgeable, moldable, or otherwise formable, and thus these jewelry items can be easily formed by casting, forging, and molding the soft metals. Also, conventional jewelry rings have a flat interior surface that touches a wearer's skin all the time and may cause skin wrinkling, bleaching, swelling, or pealing under the ring. In addition, conventional jewelry materials may be relatively expensive to manufacture. In order to address and solve the problems of the prior arts, recently, jewelry items are being formed from other materials, for example, elements such as “silicon” or alloys or composites such as “cemented carbides” or “rubber” as well as from combinations of harder materials and soft metals. These additional compositions may provide desirable jewelry characteristics and may be advantageous and comfortable to use in certain environmental conditions and are relatively inexpensive in comparison to the conventional jewelry rings. The present invention disclosed herewith addresses that need.

SUMMARY

It will be understood that this disclosure is not limited to the particular hand jewelry (such as a ring or a bracelet) described herein, as there can be multiple possible embodiments of the present disclosure which are not expressly illustrated in the present disclosure. It is also to be understood that the terminology used in the description is for the purpose of describing the particular versions or embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

It is an objective of the present invention to provide a jewelry such as a finger ring. In one embodiment, the ring may include inner and outer components that are formed together (i.e., single molded) into a single unit as a finished ring. The inner component may include an elevated portion that is a circular step or section along an inner surface of the inner component. A width of the elevated portion may be less than a width of the inner surface of the inner component. In another embodiment, the ring may be obtained in two molds. In a first mold, the inner and outer components are obtained as a single unit such that the inner component includes the elevated portion and a width of the elevated portion is less than a width of the inner surface of the inner component. In a second mold, another outer component is obtained that is overlaid or placed around an outer surface of the previous outer component obtained in the first mold.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a jewelry such as a finger ring. In one embodiment, the ring may include inner and outer components that are formed together (i.e., single molded) into a single unit as a finished ring. The inner component may include an elevated portion that is a circular step or section along an inner surface of the inner component. A width of the elevated portion may be less than a width of the inner surface of the inner component. Further, the elevated portion may include one or more grooves and/or one or more texts molded therein. In another embodiment, the ring may be obtained in two molds. In a first mold, the inner and outer components are obtained as a single unit such that the inner component includes the elevated portion with the one or more grooves and/or the one or more texts and a width of the elevated portion is less than a width of the inner surface of the inner component. In a second mold, another outer component is obtained that is overlaid or placed around an outer surface of the previous outer component obtained in the first mold.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a jewelry such as a finger ring. The ring may be obtained in three molds. In a first mold, inner and outer components are obtained as a single unit.

The width of the outer elevated portion may be further less than the width of the inner elevated portion. In a second mold, a first outer cap is obtained. In a third mold, a second outer cap is obtained. The first outer cap is further inserted into the ring (obtained in the first mold) from one side such that an exterior side portion of the first outer cap touches an exterior side portion of the outer elevated portion and thereafter any further movement is blocked by the outer elevated portion. Similarly, the second outer cap is inserted into the ring (obtained in the first mold) from other side such that an exterior side portion of the second outer cap touches an exterior side portion of the outer elevated portion and thereafter any further movement is blocked by the outer elevated portion. Based on the insertion, the first outer cap and the second outer cap may be able to seal (partially or fully) any available gap along the outer elevated portion of the ring. The outer elevated portion lies between the first outer cap and the second outer cap of the ring.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a jewelry such as a hand bracelet. The bracelet may be obtained in three molds. In a first mold, inner and outer components are obtained as a single unit. Here, the inner component includes an inner elevated portion and a width of the inner elevated portion is less than a width of the inner surface of the inner component. Further, the elevated portion may or may not include one or more grooves and/or one or more texts molded therein. Further, the outer component includes an outer elevated portion such that a width of the outer elevated portion is less than a width of an outer surface of the outer component as well as the width of the inner elevated portion. In a second mold, a first outer cap is obtained. In a third mold, a second outer cap is obtained. The first outer cap is further inserted into the bracelet (obtained in the first mold) from one side such that an exterior side portion of the first outer cap touches an exterior side portion of the outer elevated portion and thereafter any further movement is blocked by the outer elevated portion. Similarly, the second outer cap is inserted into the bracelet (obtained in the first mold) from other side such that an exterior side portion of the second outer cap touches an exterior side portion of the outer elevated portion and thereafter any further movement is blocked by the outer elevated portion.

FIG. 1A is a diagram that illustrates a perspective view of a first ring 100 obtained by performing a single-molding process, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Molding is a process of manufacturing a product by shaping liquid or pliable raw material (such as rubber, plastic, silicon, or the like) by using a rigid frame called a mold or matrix. In the single-molding process, the entire first ring 100 is obtained as a single unit in one go. In an embodiment, the first ring 100 includes an outer component or portion or surface 102 and an inner component or portion or surface 104. Further, in an embodiment, the first ring 100 includes an elevated portion 106 that is a circular step or section. In an embodiment, the inner component 104 may include the elevated portion 106 along an inner surface of the inner component 104. Further, a width of the elevated portion 106 may be less than a width of the inner surface of the inner component 104. For example, the width of the inner surface of the inner component 104 of the first ring 100 may be 9 mm and the width of the elevated portion 106 may be any value (such as 6 mm) that is less than 9 mm.

FIG. 1B is a diagram that illustrates a cross sectional view of the first ring 100 taken along a line A-A of FIG. 1A, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
